On Friday night, comedian Chelsea Handler took the stage at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar to host the 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards, celebrating the best in film and television from the last year.

So, with films like Anora, The Brutalist, Conclave, The Substance, and the embattled Emilia Pérez up for major prizes (as well as worthy projects such as Hard Truths, Heretic, and Challengers that were blanked by the Academy), how did it all shake out? And what about fan-favorite series like Baby Reindeer or Shōgun—both big winners at the recent Golden Globes—and the slightly nicher (but no less beloved) Industry and Slow Horses?

There’s only one way to find out! Catch up on all the winners at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards right here.
